I'm wondering if Smitty has a new version of the trailer out. I know v1 has the tongue issue that was resolved in v2 a few years ago. Going through recent threads, it sounds like a few people have a '22 version. Is there an upgraded version after the tongue fix version, and if so, what are...

Where did you get your little rack that sits below where the tent would go? I'm looking at doing something like that!

Just wondering, when you flipped yours around and mount it to the inside, did it sit flush on the cargo box? When I torqued the bolts down, there's about a 1/8" gap now. This would be the area that would had been surrounded by the caulk when it was mounted on the outside. Something makes me...

After three trips to harbor freight, I finally got a box in decent shape. The first one I got, they gave me the wrong (cheaper) one. Second trip I got the right one but the lid didn't stay shut. Third one was a charm. It went together fairly well. I used some washers as spacers so it...

Thank you so much for the pictures!! Has it been determined that those are structural supports? I thought that they were just for looks. I'm glad I didn't fully remove them!

For those that installed the Harbor Freight tongue boxes over the fenders, how did you attach them? I thought about taking off that Smittybilt sign thing that is about 2' long and flush mounting it to the box. But then I read something that said that the 2'x4" piece is a structural piece? I...

I like it, thank you for doing this. I think I may had found the original brake assembly too here: https://www.qichangmachinery.com/1-brake-assembly.html I *think* it's the 10" one but I don't know. I also *think* this may be a possible replacement, but again, don't know...

Does anybody have a parts list of what you need to replace the bearings and everything that goes with it? I asked Smittybilt and they said Timken LM12749 and that was it. I'm looking for the inner and outer bearings, seals, and anything else that may need to be replaced. Not doing it just...

I just installed the MXT275 and was eyeing that location. Only problem was I wouldn't get anything screwed down to the bracket. I didn't want to zip tie it because I didn't want it rattling around. I was going to use self-tapping screws but those holes are huge and there's a wire loom near...

Here's a recall notice about it: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/dometic-cfx3-recall-info-thread.217315/ I'm focused on the cfx3 45 model, and models that are in that 40-some and low 50-some range. I don't need a freezer; just want a fridge (well, single bin). Because of the...

I did read about the issue with the CFX3 and power. What would an alternative be that you would recommend?

In the new version of the Scout, there's a square pipe that runs down the middle from the tongue to the box. I was wondering what everybody torqued that bolt to. It's an M16 bolt so you would think it would get 165ft/lbs. But there's about a 1/8" gap and spot welds on the box. I'm thinking...

That's what I was thinking. Granted you would need a few cables to wire everything up. Automobile electronics isn't new to me and I know my way around a soldering iron. I wanted to check somewhere to see if I'm on the right path or if it's not going to work. I figured I could have something...

I'm just starting to look into some sort of system for my trailer. I'm looking for something lightweight, something that will power a fridge (like a Dometic CFX3 45), the ability to add a few LED lights and probably a usb outlet to charge a device. I also want the ability to add a solar panel...

This week my Scout was finished being built so I went out and picked it up this-morning. I have a 2021 JLU Rubicon that's stock, other than a winch on the front. Here's a few take-aways.... I went to pick it up with no hitch because I was going to buy one there. They had a multi-level drop...

Thank You! I'm having 4 wheel parts assemble it because I have no way of getting it home. They won't drop it at my curb and I have no way to transport it from the store to my house. It would be nice to know how it gets assembled so I can watch for things in the future, but maybe I'll just have...

Thank you for posting this!!! I'm relieved to know that a setup like yours is still under the 350lbs on the tongue. I say that I'm going to keep it light and be mindful of the weight. I can see myself slowly building it up over time and get to a point like yours. Maybe less batteries....but...

I'd be interested to hear. Finding information about the scout is difficult. From what I heard, the big thing they did in gen2 was add a bit more metal down the tow tube to strengthen the trailer and improve the welds. I'm not aware of any changes to the box that would cause the weight to...

I'm not sure why it didn't click with me to ask Smittybilt. I think I probably thought it would get sent to a spam mailbox that nobody answers. :) In any case, I sent them in e-mail today and a few hours later, I get a response. The rep said that an empty, stock trailer's tongue weight is...

I know i'm stuck on the weight here... :D But at what point in your build was it 210lbs? I saw your youtube video with the water tanks, fridge, generator, etc. Was it 210 bone stock, or 210 in a configuration like the one that was in the video? I haven't seen a really great number posted of...
